About Kujo Negi (Kyoto green onion)

Kujo Negi, also written as 九条葱 or 九条ねぎ, is a type of Japanese green onion. It is said to have originated from onions that grew wild in Naniwa before being brought to Kyoto. The variety has been cultivated and improved over many generations and remains one of Kyoto’s traditional vegetables.

Kujo Negi comes in two types: Asagi, a slender variety, and Kuro, a thicker variety. The thicker Kuro type is the one most widely known as Kujo Negi.

Kujo Negi is tender, sweet, and aromatic, and is a staple ingredient in sukiyaki and noodle dishes.
